## About

A craft brewery & taproom founded in 2014, located on Home Farm in the Lancashire countryside of the UK.
 Our focus is on creating the best possible hoppy beers, lagers, stouts, sours & our latest project, barrel aged ales. We're probably best known for our hop forward pales & IPAs, with our flagship pale, “Never Known Fog Like It” consistently being our most popular beer.
 From brewing with no experience on a plastic home brew kit for Mike’s wedding, to brewing on a 20hl kit today producing around 2,500hl (2024), with an additional 30 barrels in our new store, it’s been over 10 years of organic growth thanks to the support of our local community.
 Based on a working farm, we opened our taproom & camp site in 2019 which overlooks Rivington Reservoir at the foot of Rivington Pike & boasts fresh beer pours, cans, merch & the best street food around every Wed - Sun.
 Outside of beer, we're proud to have introduced various social groups into our community, including a walking club, a cycling club & a running club of around 70 attendees.
 It’s our belief that it is the team that makes the company, not just the individual & in 2023, we introduced the 4-day work week to allow our team more time to rest, recharge & increase productivity within work.
 Although our inspiration is drawn from all over the world, our focus remains very much local. Rivington will continue to concentrate on making the best beer, in the styles that we love, for the people in our community
